I like it.

Have trim on my track bike but not my road bike.

Not sure why I like it but I do. So there.

Don't worry, it's just a passing phase

Mine stayed on the Blade for a few weeks before I though Nnnaaahhhhhh and peeled them off.

[extreme3d]

Not usually a fan of rim-tape, but that actually goes quite well with the lower half of the bike already being yellow.

[fredsredhat]

yep i think it suits it as well.

[Keir]

i like it.

[GearboxGeezer]

How the fuck did you put them on? I got the lil tool and all that but its just ridiculously hard to put em on my rs 125 rims... I gave up in the end.

[hazza]

looks ace

but your wheels look tiny on the first two pictures

I think it would have looked better if you had just done the back wheel for some reason.

[Cillit-BANG]

I looked at the little plastic tool that comes with the Motrax 1's and I thought what a lot of faff, I'll do them by eye.

I did this for one side before realising the little tool was a piece of piss to use and gave perfect results

[Akira]

Lookin good dawg

Me Likes!

[Yoshi]

Why dont people like rim tape, it looks cool. I'd have it on my bike if I didnt have polished rims or whatever they are.

Screen trim looks naff though

I must admit rim tape doesn't suit many bikes but it really does set off your bike. It breakes up the black of the wheels and of course matches the paint.

Looks smart!

I got my white Rim Tape posted through this morning.
